The Flying Trombone Sisters - 2021
They pulled the sun
From the beat of the bumbledrum
They blew the planets out of their trombones
The Earth it sang
With their spit and bacteria
Until its mouth filled up with lava
Oh no
Some bodies grew
Some of them ate and flew
The shadows of sisters on the underground
We took their tales
And lived on the backs of whales
And waited for words to fall down from the clouds
But out on the streets
There were hundreds of flying eyes
Ooh ooh
Filling each place
For the barnacle race
You were there
Always up in arms
Between the houses
The water ran just like us
Ooh ooh
Pulling us safe
Into home we had made
She was there
Oh so fabulous
We heard the sound
The lights inside every cloud
And even the ones who never thought they could
Looked up and stared at cumulous
The trumpets cried
From somewhere beyond the sky
And I tried to think when I had seen a thing
More wonderful than what I did
My sisters' hair
Lifted into the air
With feathers all gold and bronze and silver
And they left my side
And looked like they'd never die
Three sisters in the sky
With trombones held high
From the beat of the bumbledrum
They blew the planets out of their trombones
The Earth it sang
With their spit and bacteria
Until its mouth filled up with lava
Oh no
Some bodies grew
Some of them ate and flew
The shadows of sisters on the underground
We took their tales
And lived on the backs of whales
And waited for words to fall down from the clouds
But out on the streets
There were hundreds of flying eyes
Ooh ooh
Filling each place
For the barnacle race
You were there
Always up in arms
Between the houses
The water ran just like us
Ooh ooh
Pulling us safe
Into home we had made
She was there
Oh so fabulous
We heard the sound
The lights inside every cloud
And even the ones who never thought they could
Looked up and stared at cumulous
The trumpets cried
From somewhere beyond the sky
And I tried to think when I had seen a thing
More wonderful than what I did
My sisters' hair
Lifted into the air
With feathers all gold and bronze and silver
And they left my side
And looked like they'd never die
Three sisters in the sky
With trombones held high
